Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

This is simply a story about Sumeru; even in the simplest dialogues, there are hidden agendas.

The title of 'Acting Great Sage' did indeed bring Elhesen a lot of power, but it also brought a lot of trouble.

For someone who doesn't want power but only wants to read, these are all burdens. He has to defuse these landmines one by one, and making the disciplinary officials independent is the first landmine.

Readers finally understand why Al Heisenberg, who usually avoids trouble, chose to go along. Is this what adult society is like? It's so complicated.

Luckily, we don't have to worry about these things since we can't pass the civil service exam, hahaha...haha...waaaaah.

I don't know why, even though there were no heart-wrenching scenes or distressing plot points, readers were still shedding tears.

It's truly a case of some suffering from drought while others are drowning in floods.

The old scholar who had previously given a negative review of Elhesen was also reading the book, and this passage changed his opinion of him slightly.

Although this kid still speaks as impulsively as ever, he seems quite suited to be a great sage.

He still speaks with the same sharp tongue, even Paimon says he's the same as always, saying he ignores people all the time.

"Anselham said, 'Anselham's answer to a poor question is to condone the questioner's behavior, and I need to make my stance clear to him.'"

That's a brilliant quote! So true!

More importantly, although Al-Hysen didn't answer many questions, he understood them very well. He knew that Araf had just been testing him.

Come to think of it, Araf is practically Seno's right-hand man, how could he not know what to do?

Therefore, Al-Hysen's answer was simple and forceful, without any pretense or evasion, directly stating that he would not interfere.

After Ehrlich's explanation, many people fell silent, including the old scholar.

Because he really didn't see the deeper meaning, and thought that Al-Hysen's personality was still as impulsive as ever.

Sigh, I really am not good at politics; I'm just good at doing some research.

After Elhesen finished speaking, Elias in the story raised his own question.

"I have a question I really want to ask—have we met before?"

That's a really old-fashioned way to start a conversation; thankfully, it wasn't actually a flirtation.

Moreover, asking this question while suffering from amnesia might make people think you're some kind of self-destructive person.

Al-Hysen did answer this question, the answer being—he had never seen it.

Strangely, Elias said that he had a feeling of familiarity when he first met Elhesen, and it didn't seem to be a misperception.

Oh my god, it was love at first sight!

Sea chefs can understand this feeling, because they had the same feeling when they first met Elhesen. They were certain that this Elias must also be a sea chef.

Whether Elias is a sea chef is hard to say, but Alav did make some progress, capturing a suspect—Nalandra.

This is the person who provided Siraj with the experimental materials, and his trading partner Siraj, perhaps having heard rumors, did not come.

The trail ends here, and all the disciplinary officer can do is take Nalanda back for questioning.

The disciplinary officer left with Nalandra, but Elhesen left Elias behind.

Seno sighed. It seemed the disciplinary officer was going to lose to Al-Hysen in the investigation this time.

Elheisen kept Elias with him because he had made some discoveries, but he was pretending, and he did it very well. He was trying to guide Elias to regain his memories as if he hadn't really made any discoveries.

Al Heysen and the suspect, Siraj, were in the same class, which is why Paimon speculated that Al Heysen was interested in the case.

[Aylheimer stated, "Your description is far from the truth, but I don't expect you to come up with a more accurate answer."]

He still loves to roast people, and this can be considered a famous roast line. Al-Hysen's famous quote x2.

But Paimon, who was being rebuked, didn't react much and waited for Elhesen to continue, which shows that she was really used to it.

"A year ago, he submitted a research proposal. The great sage at the time asked for my opinion after reviewing it. I wasn't very optimistic about it because, in the end, it touched upon 'the matter of human evolution,' one of the six deadly sins."

Well, the doctor committed almost all six of these sins.

You can only say that if you commit one crime, you're a criminal; if you commit two, you're a repeat offender; and if you commit all of them, then you're truly amazing.

However, violating these six sins is not allowed, so it is entirely reasonable that Siraj's proposal was rejected. However, this is not the reason why Al-Hysen did not think highly of him.

He knew what Siraj was researching and understood Siraj's personality, so he had long guessed the truth behind it.

But Alhesen doesn't say it directly; he's still trying to help Elias regain his memories.

It was as if they genuinely wanted to extract the truth from Elias's memories.

After seeing the truth, everyone who revisited this content couldn't help but sigh, "Truly worthy of being called the Emperor of Mount Sumeru."

Chapter 682 Hive Mindset Project

Unfortunately, Elias, who reported the incident, couldn't remember anything except two things: playing Genshin Impact.

Okay, what he remembered was that he had to give his monthly salary to his sister, and the other thing was that my sister couldn't possibly be that cute.

He said he remembered two things, but in the end he could only recall one; he said he couldn't remember the other.

Most people lose their sense of security after losing their memory, but he was different; he felt relieved after losing his memory.

This made some people realize something was wrong. If amnesia brings relief, then it proves that his memory is a burden. What exactly happened?

Despite asking around, they couldn't get any answers, so Elhesen and the traveler had to investigate themselves.

Upon arriving at the place where Elias usually receives his salary, the staff there told Elhesen that the number of scholars with research needs had decreased recently.

This is because the void was shut down, and the scholars of Sumeru became less interested in research.

The Void requires the Heart of God to function; after the deal with the Fools, the Heart of God was gone, and the Void naturally disappeared.

That's good, after all, the scholars of Sumeru are somewhat lacking in innovation, they only know how to swim in the ocean of 'outdated' knowledge, and they retreat when they reach the boundary.

Now that the void is gone, it feels like there are boundaries everywhere, which makes scholars with real talent even more enthusiastic about their research.

However, ordinary scholars have entered a "laissez-faire" mode. Rather than conducting their own research, they prefer to wait for renowned scholars to offer courses so they can simply enroll and at least get their names listed on the research.

Effort? Exploring the unknown? Compared to knowledge, what they are actually pursuing is just an academic certificate called 'proof of knowledge'.

The Great Compassion Tree King: "..."

The Tree King sighed and lamented; she hadn't intended this outcome when she created the void.

The void can help her fight against forbidden knowledge and also help other scholars acquire knowledge.

She wanted the Void to be everyone's assistant, but unexpectedly, humanity became the Void's 'pen' instead.

Now that the 'pen-holder' is gone, the Sumeru scholars are almost paralyzed, unable to squeeze out even a few drops of 'ink'.

In a later conversation with a scholar, he said the following:

"So, it turns out that no matter what we need, as long as we send out a request, the void will respond."

"Having tried something this useful, who would bother going through the trouble of researching information now?"

Especially for some niche academic fields, it's even impossible to find any information about them.

But academic research isn't about following trends; it's not about popular or unpopular topics. They just want to obtain 'proof of knowledge' more easily.

Even Gui Zhong frowned upon seeing this, let alone the Great Tree King, the god of wisdom.

Gui Zhong really admired humanity's spirit of exploration for knowledge, but the land of wisdom has turned out like this.

The scholars of Fontainebleau and Winter Solstice almost laughed. This is supposed to be a land of wisdom? We're not even as good as them.

The leaders of these two countries provide an exaggerated level of support for academic research; in terms of actual research, they might even surpass the wise nation of Sumeru.

Narcissus Cross smiled without saying a word, saying that Sirage's research could only be described as a low-budget mini version of Rene.

So what was his research? The good news is, when this scholar mentioned, 'No need for complex thinking, just consider the tasks assigned to you,' Elias remembered something.

Elias clutched his head in anguish and said, "You will become 'Siraj 36,' integrated into my dominant consciousness, thinking only of fixed modules...like a worker bee in a hive."

This is Siraj's research—"Swarm Consciousness and the Path of Evolution."

The honeycomb mindset integrates everyone's thinking and clarifies the division of labor, which is why the scholar's words triggered Elias's memory.

Interestingly, the honeycomb mindset and the Gestalt mindset built on the void share similarities: both can make those who don't want to think give up thinking altogether.

However, there is also a difference: Gestalt thinking does not have a center, but only a 'brain receptacle'.

The honeycomb mindset is centered; the thinking of the person at the center influences the entire honeycomb, and the people in the honeycomb also influence the center in turn.

If the central will is not firm enough or self-disciplined enough, the hive will collapse.

It's somewhat like a simplified version of harmony and order, where everyone is an independent individual, but everyone shares the same tolerance and ideas.

The other is controlled by absolute order and a central authority, with everything in perfect order.

That's why we say Siraj is a low-spec mini-youth version of René. René also had a collective consciousness, but he did it to preserve his 'independent consciousness'.

Siraj disagreed; he genuinely believed that collective consciousness was more efficient than independent thinking, and that this was the path of evolution.

But human thought is very complex, and forcibly combining them will only stifle people's imagination.

This is undoubtedly a form of stifling for those who are willing to think independently and conduct research on their own.

Most importantly, the two people at the center are not on the same level in terms of willpower; Siraj is practically fragile.

Incidentally, another person who did this was named 'Sunday,' who also bore the dreams and complex emotions of all beings at the center.

Therefore, the most important thing to achieve this kind of 'thinking' is to have a firm and unwavering central will. If Siraj hadn't succeeded, there would have been some hope if he had been replaced by Elhesen.

Furthermore, from Elias's words, we can infer that there were at least 36 victims of this 'strangulation'.

Al-Hysen knew about Siraj's plan. Siraj's numbering system was not based on first-come, first-served, but on ability, which meant there might be more victims.

[Erhesen: "Only number 36? What a pity. In my opinion, your talent is far more than that."]

Elias blinked, and looking at this sentence in the book, he fell into a long silence. Is my talent far more than this?

Al-Hysen is very objective in his evaluation of a person, and he doesn't mince words. The fact that he said this means that he really thinks Elias is very talented.

He probably wouldn't have thought much of what Elhesen said in the past.

But after seeing Elhesen's performance in the story of Sumeru, few people would not care about Elhesen's evaluation.

Because he is a truly capable person, and the words of a capable person are more likely to be taken seriously.

In reality, Elias was not bullied because Lin Qiu had already arrived before he reported it.

All evil will be brought to justice!

So at this moment, Elias is more interested in pursuing... I mean following Elheisen than in pursuing any Siraje 36.

For the Sumerian people, who are inherently intellectual and somewhat psychic, Elhesen's charm was immense.

Character Voice Lines - Kavi: About Elhesen

"What? The prophecy mentions Elhesen's charm?... He's charming?"

Chapter 683 Did Ilias hurt many people?

Originally, not many people liked Elhesen because he was sharp-tongued and low-key. People didn't know how strong he was, they only knew that he had a sharp tongue. Those who didn't dislike him were those who hadn't had much contact with him.

However, the prophecy revealed Al-Hysen's abilities: he was highly learned, inquisitive, neither arrogant nor humiliating, and extremely efficient (in order to leave work on time).

He doesn't even have any subjective interests to pursue, and his high position makes people feel at ease. Moreover, he is also very good at fighting.

I initially thought his sharp tongue was a flaw, but after watching the show, I realized that he was genuinely offering objective evaluations without any malicious intent.

This is incredible! This kind of person is the dream lover of intellectuals; it's hard for Sumeru people not to like him.

So originally, Elhesen only needed to act as the Great Sage for a period of time, but now... because of the overwhelming demand, he will have to act as the Great Sage for a longer period of time.

Zhongli failed to regain his position as the Rock God; he was rather stuck in a rut.

Lin Qiu's response was, "Dude, it's only right that I write down your good points."

To this, El-Hysen would like to say, when did we become buddies? Just call me by my job title when we're working.

He didn't say it, but even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered. Lin Qiu would at most reply: "Just kidding, I'd write it even if we weren't buddies."
